On PCI Bus interface exist PCI1520 card-bus controller and TSB82AA2 1394B controller that supports PC cards
and 1394B device separately, Wireless LAN on mini PCIE interface and X-BAY radio interface.
On LPC interface exist super I/O that is SIO10N268. It provides four serial ports and one parallel port. The LPC
will connect the Keyboard embedded controller H8S/2140 and flash memory for BIOS.
There are two SMBus interfaces, one is connected from ICH7-M and operating under master mode, the second is
multi-master Bus and connected from H8S/2140. The Master provides interface to synthesizer and to memory
identification. The multi-master channel used for thermal sensor controller (SMBus from LCD interface and
SMBus from Docking).
A CODEC (ALC260) with TI audio amplifier stereo analog audio to internal speakers, audio jack and docking.
Digital audio-PDIF standard also provided to audio jack and to docking.
System also provides LEDs to display system status, such as power on, battery state, HDD, Num Lock, Caps Lock
and Scroll Lock.
The system also provides a port to expand docking capability. Input/Output (I/O) ports can include parallel port,
serial port, VGA port, USB, line out, video input.
The system also provides DVD-ROM, Bluetooth, GPS, X-BAY radios.
A full set of software drivers and utilities are available to allow advanced operating systems such as Windows 2000
and Windows XP to take full advantage of the hardware capabilities.
